It would take you forever to listen to all the older episodes, so I'll tell you what I did when I discovered them. As soon as I caught up, I looked for episodes that came out around console launches and huge game releases. It was really interesting going back and hearing what they thought...

Any news on a CAG iPhone app?

He might not have to, but I think it's unethical for him not to disclose that he's obviously biased. No one is saying you can't comment on your own work or be proud of your accomplishments, but not disclosing that you had a part in making it, to me, is shady.

@Wombat - If you identified yourself, not at all. I don't believe all reviews should be unbiased, but any bias should be known so the review can be weighted appropriately. If you posted a review of your own product and intentionally hid your identity in an attempt to seem impartial, to me that...

@Frisky - That's why I think the biggest take away from the story isn't that one dude wrote a user review in an unethical manner, it's that the studios are completely okay with this lack of ethics. I completely understand your point and agree when it comes to the user review that started this...

It really isn't that he wrote the review that bothers me. While unethical, that can be explained away. It's the fact that this is viewed as "business as usual", and this one just happened to get caught. We might not look at reviews as something to take seriously, but sadly, the industry does...

Here's the article, in case you haven't read it, and a link to the thread on reddit. I've seen people try to argue both sides of this. Some say it's shady, and some sort of conspiracy to manipulate scores. Honestly, I think that's bullshit. But on the other hand, people are saying that it...

Hey guys, just a couple of topics that you might be interested in discussing in this week's Cagcast, both having to do with COD: Black Ops. First of all, how do you guys feel about consumers not giving a shit about the Activision/Infinity Ward debacle? Can the gaming press finally stop...

Hey Cheapy and Wombat, what do you think about EA actually standing up and defending "Medal of Honor" amidst the media controversy? Generally, these companies just stay quiet and wait for it all to blow over, but EA seems to be active in saying they're going to stand by their development team...

Well I know what I'll be playing at BestBuy if they leave their computers unlocked...

pick up a cheap older game and spend the rest on downloadable titles. I don't own a PS3, but the PSN titles are really what makes the PS3 stand out to me, to the point where I might buy one now with the price drop even though the only "box" game I have any interest in is Heavy Rain.

I think what we're seeing is early tech, and to me seems really promising for the future. I don't think the current retail market is going to change any time soon though, because I don't see this ever knocking out the Walmarts/BestBuys. But it will be a section of the market, and I think it's...

definitely .99 per world, but with the new 3.0 firmware you can have your app built around serving the others as DLC. That way you don't have to label your original app as "World 1", which might turn people off since they might think they're only getting a partial experience. If you can code...

Smaller means cheaper, cooler temperatures, and if you have a family and your wife actually cares how the living room looks it's a lot more appealing. The 360 is quite the eyesore in the entertainment center...

I'd go with the PS3 if you're getting it mainly for games. I've got a 1st gen iPhone and I love it because I work by myself all day and it's my sole source of entertainment while working, but I never play with it at home unless I'm in bed or taking a shit. I will say that it's coolness doesn't...
